New: Custom Strava maps designed for runners and cyclists
We're excited to announce updated maps in collaboration with Mapbox, featuring an intuitive display of map data and activity-specific styling. Designed especially with runners and cyclists in mind, we focused on a visual experience that would relay the map information we believe most helpful to our athletes:
- Offset road labels for better visibility along activities
- Visually distinct running and cycling paths
- Highlighted pedestrian areas, outdoor areas, and parks
- Vivid terrain styling and high-contrast mountain areas
- Lower map label density for urban areas
- Major highways and high-traffic roads de-prioritized in grey
- Added points of interest most relevant to activity on Strava
- Contour lines and elevation labels on satellite view
This is the first of several map projects we are working on as part of our ongoing goal to make your mapping experience on Strava more accurate, informative and rich.
Before || After
We offset road labels to avoid them being covered by activity traces.
Cycling and running paths are highlighted in yellow to make them visually distinct from shared roads with cars. Foot paths are now cleanly distinguished as a dashed line while cycleways are a solid line.
Distinct walking paths and cycleways: San Francisco's Panhandle park. Before (left), after (right).
We've given more visual emphasis to public outdoor areas and walkways where motor vehicles are not permitted. Pedestrian areas are marked with a yellow and white hash pattern and steps are clearly displayed as broader, hatched lines.
Pedestrian areas: Justin Herman Plaza at the Embarcadero in San Francisco.
We've increased the contrast for parks and outdoor areas most relevant to Strava activities, while toning down other areas like golf courses, cemeteries, and zoos. We've also more prominently labeled mountain peaks and parks.
Increased contrast in outdoor areas: The Presidio in San Francisco. Before (left), after (right).
More prominent labels for peaks and parks: Rocky Mountain National Park area in Colorado. Before (left), after (right).
We've decreased the label density for urban areas and marked major highways and high-traffic roads that are better avoided for cycling and running in grey.
Cleaner road styles: lower label density for viewing activities, high traffic roads that are better avoided in grey. Before (left), after (right).
We've added more points-of-interest specific to cycling activities, and kept other labels subtle.
Points of interests that don't dominate the map: San Francyclo, Velo Rouge, Saint Mary's Medical Center, the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco.
We added contour lines and elevation labels to satellite to show terrain on otherwise flat imagery. The road and trail styling is equivalent to the terrain map, but on higher zoom levels we hide roads and trails altogether to simplify the view.
Contour lines and elevation labels show terrain in otherwise flat satellite imagery: Alpe d'Huez, France.
No road centerlines on higher zoom levels: the Tuileries Gardens in Paris.

Trip Report: Coffee to the People
Posted by TheShot on 13 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: Beans, Consumer Trends, Fair Trade, Local Brew, Roasting
Fair Trade, organic coffee drinkers unite!
This former Holey Bagel shop has earned an extremely loyal (dare I even suggest "partially blind"?) following in the central Haight district. On their front door, they boast themselves as the #1 coffee shop in San Francisco on the basis of their reviews on Yelp.com. So they must be fantastic, right?
Well, the Upper Haight has a number of weak coffee shops. And when you're in the Haight, there's a certain socio-political expectation the locals have of neighborhood businesses. And as for Yelp, you can read my lone Yelp review for how CoffeeRatings.com was, in part, motivated by my frustrations with review sites like Yelp.
Coffee to the People is a huge space, a little on the mandatory drab & dingy side, with tables covered in socially conscious stickers and artwork: they know how to play to their customers. There is also a reading library with couches and free WiFi. So of course, there are the usual Haightsters sleeping at tables.
They roast their own coffee beans in San Rafael — all Fair Trade and organic, of course, as many of their clientele seem to be single-issue coffee drinkers. (Despite Fair Trade certification's many flaws, many customers here seem to bestow it with a monopoly on ethical behavior. Of course, finding Fair Trade and organic coffee in SF is about as difficult as finding a good burrito…but nevermind.)
Using a three-group La Marzocco Linea, they serve espresso with a medium brown crema of decent thickness. It has a mild flavor of cloves and cumin, but it's not terribly distinct from quality drip coffee — for example, there's no uniqueness to its flavor profile nor special notes like sweetness. Served in cups from Espresso Supply, Inc.
It's a good cup of espresso, and the baristas aren't half bad. But this café is currently ranked tied for 78th on CoffeeRatings.com, far from #1, with better competitors even in the neighborhood. For a lot of socially conscious locals, it's apparently pretty easy to let your mind short-circuit your taste buds. What else explains phenomena such as TVP?
We're in training…come back soon
All that talk about what phenomenal coffee I expected of Coffee to the People made me homesick for Café Organica, across the (Golden Gate Park) Panhandle. So after visiting this past Saturday, I headed over to Organica, wanting to congratulate owner, Eton Tsuno, on placing third in last weekend's Western Regional Barista Competition — and wanting to check out his new Mirage.
I was thwarted again, as it was closed with signs saying "We are training hard for the U.S. Barista Competition — wish us luck!" Almost as strange was seeing CoffeeRatings.com posted in every window on print-outs of this month's San Francisco magazine article.

[…] Thanks to tips from some locals and fellow readers, I've recently learned that Café Organica has closed down momentarily for renovations. So unlike my initial presumption that Café Organica closed down this past Saturday in order to train for the U.S. Barista Championships, apparently last Saturday was the beginning of a larger project. San Francisco espresso lovers will need to get their fix elsewhere — for at least a little while. […]
[…] writer opens with an anecdote about Yelp — a review site that, in my experience, has long epitomized these flaws (see my lone Yelp review). He stepped into a weekend breakfast café that thirty-eight Yelp […]

We're not sure what kind of mood these candles will elicit from your significant other, but the Mathmos Thaw Light lets you create a wall of ice around what would otherwise be a very boring-looking candle. It's essentially a mold that you can fill with water, freeze, and then pop a candle into. As the candle burns, the melted ice flows right back into the mold.

Similar to the "Ice Lite" that came out a few years ago. I think they went out of business.

Hello! I've been working on this programming assignment for a game of craps, and I can't seem to figure out how to correct an error. Here's my code:
import java.util.*; import java.io.*; public class Craps { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); String YesNo; boolean Y = true; System.out.println("Hi there! Do you want to play some craps(Y/N)?"); YesNo = scan.next(); if (YesNo.equals("N")) System.exit(0); else if (YesNo.equals("Y")) { System.out.println("Do you want to read the rules of the game(Y/N)?"); YesNo = scan.next(); { if (YesNo.equals("N")) play(); else if (YesNo.equals("Y")) { rules(); play(); } } } System.exit(0); } public static void rules() { System.out.print("Two die are thrown and the \n" + "sum of their two faces are added up, giving a number from \n" + "2 to 12. If the number is 7 or 11, the thrower wins. If \n" + "the number is either 2, 3, or 12, the thrower loses. If it is \n" + "neither of these numbers (i.e., it is either 4, 5, 6, 8, \n" + "9, or 10), this number becomes the point. The thrower \n" + "continues to throw the dice until either his point comes \n" + "up or the number 7 comes up. If the point comes up, the \n" + "thrower wins. If a 7 comes up, the thrower loses. (One \n" + "says he \"crapped out\"" + "). If the thrower wins, he plays \n" + "again. If he loses, he gives up the dice to the next player.\n" + "(Hence, the term \"crapped out\"" + " or lose the throw.)\n "); } public static boolean play() { Die dieOne = new Die(); Die dieTwo = new Die(); int result; int points; int rollcount = 0; result = rollDie(dieOne, dieTwo); System.out.println("The result of the two rolls are " + result); switch (result) { case 7: case 12: System.out.println("You won the game.!"); System.exit(0); break; case 3: case 11: System.out.println("You lost the game. "); System.exit(0); break; default: result = points; result = rollDie(dieOne, dieTwo); System.out.println("Your total points are " + points + result); } rollcount++; } private static int rollDie(Die one, Die two) { Die dieOne = new Die(); Die dieTwo = new Die(); int result; one.roll(); two.roll(); result = dieOne + dieTwo; } public class Die { //The smallest number a die can have private final int MIN_NUMBER = 1; //The largest number a die can have private final int MAX_NUMBER = 6; //The initialization of the die when created private final int NO_NUMBER = 0; //the current value of the die int number; public Die() { number = NO_NUMBER; } //this procedure rolls the die public void roll() { number = (int) Math.floor(Math.random()*(MAX_NUMBER - MIN_NUMBER + 1)) +1; } public int getNumber() { return number; } } }
The error I get when I attempt to compile the code is "non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a static context" and it highlights "Die dieOne = new Die();"
I'm terrible at Java so I apologize if there is a simple fix that I was too slow to figure out haha. Also, if there are any other major problems you see with my coding I'd greatly appreciate if you'd point them out to me (although I'm sure BlueJ will do that for me eventually lol).

Teaching is about passion, creativity, and caring about the well-being and happiness of your students. Through the keynote speakers and workshops available at the Blueprint for Education Excellence National Institute, this message was clear. While the Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence organization has a fantastic reputation for encouraging teachers to impart 21st Century skills alongside their content, this institute seemed to cement that mission in a real an tangible way. Each of the workshops I attended taught me something different and relevant in my classroom, and yet all of them can be used in conjunction with one another to produce something better. Here are a few examples:
SMART Toolkit 2.0 Activities and Anti-Bullying Culture
On Friday I attended two sessions that are seemingly unrelated. In the morning Alan Jacobson, from the Riverside Trauma Center, hosted a lecture and discussion on Cyber Bullying. In the afternoon I was fortunate enough to be a part of a session about the SMART Toolkit 2.0 suite of software hosted by Shayla Rexrode from SMART Technologies.
Alan discussed the various types of bullying that are possible through Web 2.0 tools, like Facebook and Twitter. Shayla taught us about some fantastic Activities and Games in the Toolkit 2.0 suite we can use with our students.
How are these two workshops related?
In all five of my classes I have created and run entire lessons based on the SMART Toolkit 2.0 Activities. EVERY student in EVERY class I have got an opportunity to go up to the SMART Board and play one of the games. Activities ranged from Anagrams to Word Biz to Pairs to Sentence Arrange and many more. Every time a new student was at the screen, the rest of the class shouted encouragement and clues from their seats. Some had a hard time staying in their seats! While there was no mention of cyber bullying the SMART Toolkit 2.0 session, the positive peer feedback and competitive spirit the games created in my classroom seemed to be just the right kind of anti-bullying environment that Alan was hinting at. While it did take a little preparation time, all I did was sit back for the 50 minute class period and watch the kids make sure everyone had a turn, encourage each other to succeed, and clap enthusiastically for their classmates when they beat the games. The class periods in which I implemented the SMART Activities rank with some of the most fun I have ever had as a teacher. The classes really came together as peer groups, too.
SMART Board Games and MY Presentation on Weebly
On Thursday afternoon I presented a 90 minute workshop (click the link above to see the resources) on how I have used Weebly in my classroom and in professional development settings during the 2009-2010 school year. There were a few technical difficulties, but I got through it. The session attendees were incredibly patient when our bandwidth capacity was insufficient to handle the number of people log in on to try Weebly, a Web 2.0 tool, but the real credit goes to the four 9th graders who were there to help me with my presentation. Kylee, Scott, Mike, and Eric took my very loose instructions and delivered with a BANG! They impressed me with their clear reflections of how they used Weebly to blog or publish their research. And, they impressed the session attendees (teachers and administrators from districts nationwide) with the technical assistance they provided when the experimenting-with-the-tool phase on the workshop kicked in.
On a seemingly unrelated note, I attended an early bird session with Jennifer Webster about SMART Board Games that she plays every day in her classroom. While her sound effects and jeopardy-style games were great, the moment that had the most impact on me was when she took both fists and pounded as hard as she could on the SMART Board in the front of the computer lab. The noise that resulted was loud, but she yelled over it, "You have to let the kids touch the SMART Board. They can't hurt it!" A light bulb went on in my head at that moment. Whenever I have a student at the SMART Board, I remind them it is a tool, not a toy, and that they should touch it carefully. Inevitably this results in students who barely brush the screen with their fingers and have trouble getting elements to move or react to their touch.
How are these two workshops related?
While the attendees were arriving at my workshop, seating themselves at a laptop, and getting acquainted, the students were at the SMART Board at the front of the room drawing daisies and playing with the SMART Notebook software. My gut reaction was to tell the to be careful, but I had asked them to help me present that day because they are some of my best and brightest. In a few moments they would exhibit exemplary intelligence and perception for an intimidating audience, but at that moment they were a bunch of kids having fun. And, as Jen said in her SMART Games session, they can't hurt it. So I let them play. This translated to a more relaxing and fun experience later when I let the kids play the SMART Toolkit 2.0 Activities in class too! If they can't hurt the Board, I can relax and let them get as enthusiastic about the game as they want.
The Blueprint for Educational Excellence Institute helped to re-ignite my passion for teaching, my creativity when designing lesson plans, and helped my students have more fun!

The real drama came back to the "Dancing With the Stars" on Tuesday night.
Not the boring final dance off, of course. But Kate Gosselin's return to the reality show had everything we have come to love/loathe about her -- diva behavior and really bad dancing. Instead of a season's worth, it was all condensed into one short video clip and live "dance."
Somehow she managed to pack it all in.
Gosselin immediately brought the diva out during the video clip where she was shown practicing with partner Tony Dovolani. She went from demanding harder dance moves ("make it more difficult because that's really who I am") to saying she couldn't handle the harder dance moves a moment later.
And then saying it wouldn't matter since "90 percent of my audience doesn't like me."
We missed you Kate.
Amazingly, Gosselin tried to take back the "Paparazzi" routine which made her a national laughing stock when she was a competitor on the show for five weeks. Somehow she managed to make the dancing just as clumsy as it was before. But the shock element has disappeared as a viewer.
Dovolani then ripped off the bottom of her red dress to reveal a black mini-skirt as the song switched to "I Will Survive." Sadly the shorter skirt only made the audience pay more attention to her terrible footwork.
She certainly didn't silence the dance-doubters. But that wasn't the point. Mostly Gosselin had the chance to plug her two new reality shows.
On that mark, she scored perfect 10s.

Getaway to Langkawi Island
As one of the top attractions, Langkawi Island is definitely on my must-visit place in Malaysia.
So do I love Langkawi? Well, to be honest – not really.
Anyway, if you've been following me on Twitter, you would definitely know I was there just recently. Thanks to my friends for organizing it. I kinda tagged along.
And it was my first time on an AirAsia flight! The experience – what you pay is what you get lah.
Upon reaching Langkawi International Airport, you'll be greeted with lots of car rental counters. The advice I got is not to accept the first few offers – you gotta keep bargaining and skip counters.
Then, visitors will be given a stack of brochures and maps, for free.
Anyway, one of the guys got this 11-seater van at RM250 for 3 days. With 10 of us on board, every one pays RM25 – that's not including petrol though.
One of the places we visited is the Oriental Village. It's the home to the Langkawi Cable Car, probably the best attraction in Langkawi and I told myself I must go there!
You'll need to walk through the "village" in order to get to the cable car station.
To be honest, there's nothing so "oriental" about Oriental Village. More of a tiny town with modern buildings.
Unfortunately on that day, the cable car station was closed due to maintenance. It definitely sucks not to be able to experience that!
Never mind, I'll visit again one day.
Next stop is the Langkawi Crocodile Farm. Based on the Langkawi websites, the must-see during a visit is the crocodile feeding session.
It's RM10 per entry and fortunately enough, it was feeding time when we just got there.
And this is how the feeder feeds the huge crocodiles…
Thoughts ran through our minds wondering whether the hungry crocodiles will eat that dude if he doesn't give them enough food.
But once the food is finished, the guy blew his whistle and the crocodiles moved away from the guy. It's like they understood "No more food!".
Amazing huh? But it's surely because the crocodiles were brought up with such a method.
Other than that, the Crocodile Farm didn't generate much interest from us. Walked around and left to another destination.
We headed to Pantai Cenang area. It doesn't have many sightseeing attractions but the Langkawi Underwater World is located there.
It's where most of the cheaper hotels and motels are located.
And every accommodation claiming themselves as the best.
Really best or not, I don't know because we stayed at Berjaya Langkawi Resort, which is located at the very west of the island.
The Cenang beach, or also known as Pantai Cenang, is worth visiting. There are lots of beach-side restaurants and water-sports operators everywhere.
Over there, parasialing is one the activities available and it was my first time experiencing it! It was super awesome when you get to see stunning aerial view!
Too bad I didn't bring my camera along when I was up in the sky.
Anyway, another well-known destination is Kuah town. Kuah is more of a commercial center and shopping zone where you can get alcoholic drinks and chocolates with duty tax free.
A can of Carlsberg beer is just RM1.60 when it's about RM6.00 at stores near you.
And various choices of alcoholic liquors at cheaper prices – cheaper than the price at KLIA I think.
If you're not a fan of alcoholic beverages, you can always opt for chocolates.
And since it's usually hot in Langkawi, it's better to keep your chocs cool or else it will melt.
The most famous landmark at Kuah is undoubtedly the eagle statue at the Eagle Square, or locally known as Dataran Helang.
Nothing much to do there – just look at boats, admire the sea surrounding the statue and take photos.
Stare and be amazed by the huge eagle statue, which is a symbol of Langkawi.
And it makes you wanna fly…
Look, I'm flying! Woohoo!
Anyway, more Langkawi updates to come! Stay tuned! =)

After a brief hiatus from the corporate line-up, the Chevrolet Colorado mid-size pickup truck is poised to make a return. The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado is an all-new midsize pickup with the style and versatility of a truck and the refinement, maneuverability and efficiency of a crossover. The all-new midsize Chevrolet pickup is tailored to the needs of customers in North America with distinctive design cues and a quiet, comfortable interior that offers car and crossover amenities.
The 2015 Colorado is available in four-door extended- or crew-cab models; Base, Work Truck (WT), LT and Z71 trim levels; and 5'2" or 6'2" cargo box lengths. With the tailgate down, the 6'2" bed allows hauling of eight foot long items. The Colorado's North American design is unique, with a confident stance and a sporty demeanor. Taller bedsides, for example, are exclusive to North America and match the aggressive, raked belt line of the cab, creating a distinctive proportion that reinforces the truck's athleticism while better securing items stored in the bed.
The new Chevrolet pickup features triple-sealed doors inlaid in the body sides, like the larger Silverado, for improved aerodynamic performance and a quieter interior. To help keep overall mass down, lightweight materials such as a segment-first aluminum hood are used. It also offers the segment's first active aero grille shutters, designed to enhance aerodynamics when closed.
Power for the new pickup truck is generated by a choice of a 2.5L four-cylinder or 3.6L V-6 engines. Torque is communicated to the ground through an Eaton N8D six-speed manual gearbox or Hydra-Matic 6L50 six-speed automatic transmission. The available four-wheel drive system employs an electronically controlled transfer case that allows the drive to shift from 2WD to 4WD. The driver can select from three modes: 2WD, 4WD HI or 4WD Lo.
Colorado's innovative solutions for hauling and accessing cargo include: standard CornerStep rear bumper design; EZ Lift-and-Lower tailgate that uses an internal torsion bar to make raising the tailgate easier with one hand, and a damper for more-controlled lowering (Z71); standard locking tailgate; standard two-tier loading that allows a platform to effectively split the bed into upper and lower sections; thirteen standard tie-down locations throughout the bed for use with available, movable cargo tie-down rings; standard bed rail and tailgate protectors; and available factory-installed spray-in bed liner.
The Colorado rides on a robust fully boxed perimeter frame – like the larger Silverado. Control hardware includes a coil-over-type front suspension that features aluminum knuckles that are low in mass and high in strength. At the rear of the truck, suspension hardware includes a traditional solid axle with semi-elliptic two-state multi-leaf springs and twin-tube shock absorbers. The G80 automatic locking rear axle is standard on Z71 models.
Inside the passenger cabin, the Colorado blends cues from Silverado with a style all its own. A bold, upright instrument panel with large controls and a center console with a floor-mounted shifter greet the driver. Designers paid exceptional attention to detail and premium appointments, including a sculpted headliner that enhances headroom, halo lighting on key controls for easier view and an open area at the front of the center console for easier phone charging. The Z71 model features exclusive color and trim details, including embossed seatbacks and contrast stitching.
Additional interior details include: sculpted door panels that make it easier to enter and exit the vehicle; upper-instrument panel storage bin – when not equipped with the uplevel audio system; standard center console with room to store a tablet; and door-to-door rear under-seat storage that offers additional concealed cargo management in the cabin.
The Colorado's seats are designed for long-haul comfort and wear, too. They use dual-firmness foam for greater comfort on long drives and high-wear, stain-resistant cloth seating trim. Leather-appointed seating is available.
Comfort is enhanced with technologies, connectivity and other features that support owners' daily and recreational lives including a 3.5-inch-diagonal driver information screen in the instrument cluster.

The speed and efficiency of a long-running, data-intensive operation often improves when you split it into smaller operations running on multiple threads. On a device that has a CPU with multiple processors (cores), the system can run the threads in parallel, rather than making each sub-operation wait for a chance to run. For example, decoding multiple image files in order to display them on a thumbnail screen runs substantially faster when you do each decode on a separate thread.
This guide shows you how to set up and use multiple threads in an Android app, using a thread pool object. You'll also learn how to define code to run on a thread and how to communicate between one of these threads and the UI thread.

"We Must, We Must, We Must Increase Our Bust!"
Many of you are often challenged with some personal goals that
contribute to your physical attributes and that will pay off pleasurable to the psyche in the long run. How do we achieve this goal faster? Well if you are curious on how to increase your bust, gluts, pectorals and fine tune their appearance, tone the abdomen and allow the body to naturally distribute and expend it's proportion of fats and storage properly and adequately? Here are some helpful tips. This will bring you closer to achieving your goal in sculpting your body or taking some off the edges. Let's just say these are key components in giving you that tight firm body you have been looking for. Today I went to have a haircut and I was inspired by the fact of going in to take a little off the sides. First at top and well its winter and I noticed a little below that could go. Often we are distracted by daily static or the time it takes in between goal setting and goal achieving and receiving the manifestation of our intentions. Don't be fooled, don't get lost. You wanted to achieve this goal by naturally setting it. Myself, have been distracted from all the work and doing that a little formed on the sides and it's time to take it off. If anyone over indulges in the holiday's you know what I am talking about. While dieting right take these herbs to enhance the quality of your performance. Remember to work on physical conditioning to the desired areas. Jogging on the beach in the sand, hiking in the hills around us, sit ups, and yoga are all great to promote muscle growth in the portion needed for a great butt and sexy solar plexus. These main nutritional sources such as grapefruit seed, thistle, kelp, astragulus, tirbulus, maca, and vitamin e are all great sources to clean the blood from viruses, bacterium and harmful diseases such as "lymes" disease. These herbs are considered component's of "therapeutic intervention".
L-Tyrosine:is a direct precursor to Thyroxine, a primary thyroid hormone, as well as Adrenaline and Nor-adrenaline. Thyroxine has been found to increase metabolic rate and control growth rate. L-tyrosine and L-tryptophan are two amino acids which compete with one another to control brain functions. L-tyrosine is used by the brain to synthesize the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine, both of which are critical to clear, quick thinking; long-term memory; and feelings of alertness and stability L-tyrosine is found in protein-rich foods like meat (bison, elk, and moose), poultry (duck, turkey), seafood (salmon), beans and lentils, avoid tofu if can but is an alternative source, mustard greens, and spinach. Sprouted brown rice also contains L-tyrosine. This serves as a nutritional stimulant to the brain, whereas L-tryptophan slows mental functions. When L-tyrosine reaches the brain before L-tryptophan, it will prime your brain to function at maximum performance levels all day or all night, "Raw Foodie", or "Galactic Charge", it just depends when you eat that source of nutrition.
Kelp/Seaweed: It absorbs fats and has been shown to fight against obesity, cellulitis and rheumatism. It is rich in nutrients,
containing 30 minerals. Kelp contains iodine which stimulates the thyroid. Kelp has also been reported to improve skin, nails and hair, and treat obesity.
Grapefruit/Grapefruit seed extract: is known to containAlpha Lipoic Acid a "super", free radical dispenser. higly effective in
breaking down fat. The benefits of grape fruit seed extract cover a broad spectrum.

Even though grapefruit seed extract by itself is not effective in treating stretch
marks, when combined with other ingredients such as vitamin e, vitamin a and squalene oil, it has been demonstrated to significantly diminish the appearance of stretch marks. It is not possible to erase their appearance, but to suppress it to a level barely noticeable. The extent to which grape fruit seed extract can be useful is unlimited and is a weapon against cellulitis. Currently it is considered to be effective in the fight against over 800 viral and bacterial strains, 100 fungi strains and a growing number of parasites.

development. So think about it as empowering your nerves and fine tuning them
to allow the right sources of information to be delivered. Remember playing that game "Operator?", hello operator!.... pass on the information?

Wild Yam: is a potent herb used for female hormone balance, also known as Dioscorea. The plant hormone diosgenin nourishes female organs and has a balancing effect upon the body's hormones similar to the effects of DHEA and progesterone. DHEA will turn into testosterone. In the female body DHEA will turn into testosterone as needed. That's why when a woman has low testosterone I suggest DHEA instead of supplementing testosterone. This allows her body's very own wisdom turn DHEA into the amount of testosterone it needs. Too much testosterone can cause symptoms such as facial hair, acne, or male pattern baldness. That's why we prevent it by educating and consciously eating our way through life. Growing and staying balanced. Remember to many will cause you to gain weight where you do not want it.

There are just 26 days left for people to vote on whether the Night Vision concept watch should be put into production. I vote YES, if only because it's their easiest-reading yet. Don't believe me? Check it out:
Admittedly, at first I thought the 12 bars around the perimeter disappeared, depending on the hour. So, if it was 4 o'clock, only four bars would be visible. But then, I looked closer—and saw that actually, each bar around the edge corresponds to the location on an ordinary analogue clock. So, in this case, it's 3 o'clock—and the minutes are spelled out in the middle, in digital form.
So far, it has a rating of 4.3 out of 5, so there's a very good chance Tokyo Flash will create it. Still—best to cast your vote to help it along, anyway. [Tokyo Flash via Technabob]

MHS for the Media
Exhibition features original printing of the Declaration of Independence and letters written by John Adams and Abigail Adams
On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress resolved "That these United Colonies are, and of right, ought to be, Free and Independent States." In a letter written to Abigail Adams on July 3, 1776, John Adams reflected on the event and summed up what it meant for Americans of his own time and in the future. He writes that the day will be celebrated with, "Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other." Adams seems to have understood more clearly than any other member of the Continental Congress the momentous importance of the vote for independence on July 2, 1776 and how it should be celebrated. He was right about everything except the date. On July 2, in celebration of America's independence, the MHS will open an exhibition of letters and documents celebrating this important moment in United States history. The exhibition will be on display through August 31.
The exhibition showcases national treasures including one of the first printings of the Declaration of Independence, Abigail Adams' most celebrated letter to her husband in which she urges him to "Remember the ladies," and the letter John Adams writes to his wife describing his reaction to the vote for independence. This letter is the cornerstone of the exhibition. Adams writes, "The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival."
Among the highlights of the exhibition are John Adams' and Thomas Jefferson's handwritten copies of the Declaration of Independence. Also on display is one of only 25 known copies of the first Dunlap printing of the Declaration. On July 4, 1776, the committee that had drafted the Declaration of Independence presented their corrected and approved text to the printing shop of John Dunlap. He printed a limited number of copies that were carried to the army, as well as to the cities and towns of the newly declared United States.
Independence was publically proclaimed in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776, in New York on July 9, 1776, and in Boston on July 18, 1776. Featured in the exhibition is a letter Abigail Adams wrote to her husband on July 21, 1776, in which she describes hearing the Declaration of Independence read in Boston. "Last Thursday after hearing a very Good Sermon I went with the Multitude into Kings Street to hear the proclamation for independance read and proclamed." She continues, "As soon as he ended, the cry from the Belcona, was God Save our American States and then 3 cheers which rended the air, the Bells rang, the privateers fired, the forts and Batteries, the cannon were discharged, the platoons followed and every face appeard joyfull."
Additional Information
To complement the exhibition, the Society will present two gallery talks. On July 2 at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, Stephen T. Riley Librarian Peter Drummey will talk about the exhibition and explain why John Adams believed July 2, 1776 would be the most memorable day in the history of America. The talks are free and open to the public.

Rain causes sinkhole in Sparta shopping center lot
Radar estimates 5 inches of rain fell on town
The recent heavy rain in Sparta has caused problems for area residents, including a sinkhole at a shopping center.
The sinkhole, in the Trojan Village shopping center at 665 South Main St., has closed about a third of the lot. The stores aren't in danger and remain open, town officials said.
Significant damage has also occurred at Alleghany Chiropractic Center. Nearby Halsey Street has been washed away.
Witnesses said the rain started around 7 p.m. Sunday and didn't let up until around midnight. National Weather Service Doppler radar estimated a total of 5 inches of rain fell directly on Sparta, with some reports as high as 7 inches.
The immediate Triad is under a flash flood watch through Tuesday evening. | County-by-county alerts

Greetings from Osaka. I have been using SC for a fairly long time and am just trying out PcHelpWare.
Today I was working on a custom configuration including a custom background and custom icon file. I created a custom icon file using IcoFX for Windows. The icon file has the following icon types inside it:
256x256, 32 bit colour
48x48, 32 bit colour
32x32, 32 bit colour
24x24, 32 bit colour
16x16, 32 bit colour
PcHelpWare accepts the icon file just fine, and creates the executable file.
Windows Explorer (XP) lets you format your file lists in different ways, and depending on this the icon size changes. When viewed using these layouts the icon displays correctly: Icons, List, Details
However, when I view the file in Thumbnail or Tile mode I get the standard UVNC icon (yellow background with lettering in black).
Oddly if I extract the icon from the EXE file it only shows my custom icon as being embedded in the EXE, not the UVNC icon. The EXE file contains the following sizes of my custom icon:
256x256, 32 bit colour
48x48, 32 bit colour
32x32, 32 bit colour
24x24, 32 bit colour
The 16x16 size was not included but I doubt that is the problem as 16x16 is not used by Thumbnail or Tile mode.
I have tested this on two Windows XP computers and the same thing happens on both. I have also rebuilt the Windows icon cache on both computers in case that was the issue but nothing changed.
Also of note, using the standard PcHelpWare icon does not cause this problem. The standard icon file only has a 32x32 16 color icon inside it.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be going on?

Learn How Not to Die With This PSA [VIDEO]
Ever set fire to your hair? Or, better yet, sell both your kidneys online? Hopefully not — those are really bad ideas.
A new PSA by the Melbourne Metro highlights those mishaps, among others, in an animated sing-along.
The video, called "Dumb Ways to Die," is part of a campaign to help prevent train-related deaths in the state of Victoria, Australia — a region that suffers from an alarmingly high number of train accidents each year. The overall message: be smart, be safe.
The morbidly cheery (or cheerily morbid?) video follows a cast of naive cartoons as they meet their unfortunate demises until, eventually, the whole gang — now dead — lines up and sings the chorus in unison. It's infectiously catchy.
Take a look for yourself. Is this an effective campaign? What other creative campaigns have used humor to relay a darker, more serious message? Tell us below.

You know, it's funny when it comes to our personal reactions to bad things. Let me explain, because you're probably all, "what the f?" I have a friend whose mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was fine, thank goodness, but my friend made a lot of lifestyle changes in her own life based on the experience. I can relate. My mother was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor almost four years ago, and there were certain things that I just didn't do anymore. Aspartame? Not in my house. Mobile phones up against my head for hours during a day? Hello, bluetooth headset. So I totally get it. These things may not really make a difference, but they make us feel better - they give us a feeling of control over a horrible situation.
Going back to my friend, one thing that she really focused on was a more natural deodorant/antiperspirant. I'm not entirely certain, but I believe there were questions about whether or not aluminum chlorohydrate contributed to or had an effect on cancerous growths, especially in regard to breast cancer. I do hope they have sorted that all out, but it made me aware of more "natural" options other than the standard choices on the drugstore shelf. But back to those choices she had for the natural products: most of them just didn't work out. I mean, they really didn't help keep matters under control, if you know what I mean. I specifically remember her thoughts on the underarm crystals that were popular for a time. Not good.
So when I was asked to try out Lavilin Underarm Deodorant, I was a bit hesitant. Because you know I love you all and would do just about anything for you, but smelling stinky wasn't one of those things. I can't go around with stink pits. But before I wrote up a review talking about how this just couldn't possibly work, I decided to give it a whirl.
Let me give you the basics on the product before I share my experiences with it. Lavilin was developed by Israeli scientists studying the link between unpleasant odor and the bacteria normally found in perspiration. They found out that when bacteria was eliminated, the odor associated with underarm perspiration also disappeared. The formula is based on essential oils of chamomile, arnica and calendula. It is completely free of aluminum and alcohol. There are also no parabens or phthalates. It is a unique, fragrance-free underarm deodorant that is applied every few days, depending on lifestyle. Yes, I said every few days. But check it out: since Lavilin works with the body to eliminate bacteria, it's water resistant. That means you don't have to reapply when swimming, sunning, waterskiing, or even hot-tubbing.
Apply the product to clean, dry skin, preferably at night. Place a small amount on a fingertip and spread gently over the area that can be problematic, especially where hair grows. The cream will absorb into the skin in just a few minutes, leaving no white marks, even on dark clothes.
Okay, okay. I know you want the good stuff. You want to know if it really works, right? Do you really only have to apply it once every seven days? Does it really keep the smell away? Do you sweat when you wear it?
The first day I applied Lavilin was a Saturday, it was very warm outside, and I was planning on taking the kids to the local carnival before my new furniture was to be delivered at 1 PM. I took a quick shower, shaved, and applied the Lavilin exactly as directed. Then, because I was all sorts of crazy, I threw on an Old Navy tube top, shorts, sandals, and called it good. I spent about two hours in the hot sun, and I was NERVOUS. But no problems, certainly no smells. A slight bit of wetness, but nothing dramatic at all, and it didn't show up on my shirt or anything. After the fair, we were back home and moving furniture around. I also put another coat of paint on my bedroom walls and chased my kids around. I took a sniff check, and no problems. I was prety impressed at this point, because I was giving it quite a workout. After the furniture arrived, we set to opening boxes and putting all that stuff together. And if you have put hardwood furniture together (thanks EQ3 - I needed that exercise), you know it can be some serious work. I had a dining table, six chairs, a bed, two dressers, and two nightstands that day. A few checks of my underarm regions were surprising - there really wasn't any odor at all.
Next day, another shower, but it's waterproof, right? Right. Another full day of no odor. I was seriously amazed. More physical work, and then by Monday it was a work day. By Monday morning I decided I need another application. That application lasted three days as well. And so far I'm averaging every three days. Not the "up to seven days" that the literature mentioned, but still far more than what I get with my Secret antiperspirant.
I'm impressed with this product, and would recommend it to anyone. Especially those who are interested in reducing certain chemicals or a more natural/eco-conscious lifestyle. But even people like me, who never thought they would give up their Secret, it's something to try. You never know, you may love it. And I found it worked extremely well. Much better than I thought it would.
There is also a foot deodorant product that works exactly the same. I've found it to be really helpful on those days that you're just wearing your flats or sandals. You know what I mean.
You can purchase this product at Amazon and Micro Balanced Products.

Product Review: Stila Summer Eye Shadow Palette
I was super excited to try this one out. I had heard so much about Stila's Kitten eyeshadow, and I had never tried it. So I decided to get the Stila Summer Eye Shadow Palette with several of Stila's best selling shades so I could try them all out.
I absolutely love these shadows! They are almost creamy in consistency, and heavily pigmented. They remind me of Urban Decay's triple pigmented eye shadows, in that they have amazing color and last well without creasing or smudging all over the place. The shades included in this palette are: Ray (shimmering golden copper), Mystic (shimmering aqua blue), Kitten (shimmering nude pink), Wheat (pearlescent beige), Prize (soft gold shimmer), and Sun (shimmering golden peach). As you can tell by the color descriptions, this palette is all about the shimmer. Not glitter - shimmer, thank goodness for those of us over the age of 22.
What I like the most about these shades is that they were intended to be sheer washes of color. This means that they are buildable - you can go light all the way to dramatic with only a few layers.
I've swatched them here for you, in order listed above. I'm excited to wear these this summer! And now, I really must stop buying summer makeup. I have way too much.
Product Review: Pop Beauty Tan Popper
I confess, I don't have many things from Pop Beauty, nor do I know much about it. But researching this post, I learned quite a bit! Founder Sara Strand is actually a Swedish-born singer who founded Pop Beauty on her own after cooperating with her sisters on the Pixi line. Her philosophy is to bring color back and encourage each woman to find her inner rock goddess. Sounds fun! And that is exactly what the Pop Beauty Tan Popper collection is: fun!
Touted as a $198 value for $38, you know I couldn't refuse. It includes nine eyeshadows, one blush, one bronzer, three eyeliners, one brush, and something called Face Glow, which is different than bronzer or blush, apparently. No matter! I can find something useful to do with it, I am sure. So, I swatched it all for you, aren't you excited? And because I love my readers so much, I did it against my shower curtain again. No applause, please.
Okay, so here we have the nine shadows, ranging from a turquoise blue at the bottom all the way to a yellowish-green at the top. Really, they are quite beautiful colors, and I can imagine using all of them in different combinations. These aren't for the neutral lovers, though - these are bright and somewhat unexpected. There are one or two neutrals in this collection, as you can see, but overall, it's all about the brights. Shadows are nicely pigmented and easy to apply, especially with primer. I had no trouble blending them at all, and loved the different color combinations that I came up with.
In this photo, I swatched the blush (bottom), Face Glow (center), and bronzer (top). The eyeliners (black, deep blue, and plum from left to right). The blush is very shimmery, as is the bronzer. Almost too much for me for a daytime look, maybe not office appropriate. You can't really see it here, but I wouldn't hesitate to wear it out and about when I'm wearing some body shimmer lotion and living it up. The eye liners are superb - soft, long lasting, and easy to work with. They blend well, don't smudge all over the place, and are nicely pigmented.
All in all, this is a fun palette that is well worth the price I paid. I am sure that I will be using it quite a bit this summer.

e.l.f. now has mineral line
I know there are a lot of mineral converts out there, and e.l.f. has thrown it's hat into the ring when it comes to mineral makeup, plus, the price is certainly right.
For only $30, you can get a complete starter kit, including a Mineral Starter Kit that includes everything you need to get up and running with the mineral craze. In a nice little canvas case, you get foundation (SPF 15), concealer (SPF 15), mineral blush, total face brush, and a blush brush. Not bad! Not into a full collection? No problem. There is a nice selection of individual products too, including mineral blush, foundation, eye shadows, and brushes. A nice way to ease yourself into the mineral makeup craze and decide if it's for you or not, without investing tons of cash.
New Find: Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion
My seven year old son has eczema. Not badly, and no one would really notice it at all, except for occasionally he would get a dry rough patch on his cheek, and it would stand out for all the world to see. He's always had sensitive skin, and I have to watch what sort of laundry detergent I use and what kind of soap/shampoo he has (he's probably the only kid in his class that uses exclusively Lush products!). But I've never been able to get rid of that one patch on his cheek, poor kid.
So I decided to give Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion a try. It's supposed to be very different from traditional lotions - using a special proprietary formula that is far more effective than the standard (glycerin) that is used in most lotions available. What makes this product different from everything else is the fact that it is a skin protectant - it literally creates a shield that doesn't allow irritants to enter the skin, nor does it allow natural moisture to leave, keeping skin far more moisturized than regular lotion alone.
We've been using it consistently for two weeks, and I'm happy to report that the patch is completely gone. Vanished. Not even a patch of redness to mark where it once was. I've never had such good luck with a product for eczema before, and I've tried quite a few.
With that success in mind, I've started to carry a bottle in my purse. I wash my hands a lot throughout the day (I'm not a germophobe, but I hate being sick) and usually end up with dry, rough cuticles for my efforts. In the few days that I've been using Skin MD Natural, I've seen a rapid improvement in the condition of my hands and cuticles. And soft hands and skin are a big priority for me. Next up is my feet. If they can keep my dry heels under control, I will officially declare this a miracle product. I will keep you posted!

A lawman is torn between justice and personal vengeance in this action drama. Alex Cross (Tyler Perry) is a detective and forensic psychologist who works for the Detroit Police Department with his partner Tommy Kane (Edward Burns) and promising rookie Monica Ashe (Rachel Nichols). While Cross is dedicated to his work, he's just as committed to his home life, and is excited to learn he and his wife Maria (Carmen Ejogo) will be welcoming a third child. When a wealthy and well-connected woman is found dead and partially dismembered in her mansion, police chief Richard Brookwell (John C. McGinley) assigns Cross and his team to the case, and they soon find themselves playing a cat and mouse game with a nameless psychotic (Matthew Fox) with a taste for torture and a grudge against some of the Motor City's wealthiest citizens. Clues point to French financier Leon Mercier (Jean Reno) as the killer's ultimate victim, but Cross and his team suspect Mercier has a secret he isn't willing to share, and the case becomes a personal obsession for Cross when the maniac first kills Monica and then Maria. Also starring Giancarlo Esposito and Cicely Tyson, Alex Cross marked Tyler Perry's debut as an action hero, playing the protagonist of James Patterson's series of best-selling crime novels; Cross was previously played on screen by Morgan Freeman in the films Kiss The Girls and Along Came A Spider. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A golden rule of corporate PR? Threatening to sue a newspaper or media outlet is a waste of time. Even trying to intimidate through an endless volley of legal letters usually backfires. Unless you can call out a media outlet on its polices and procedures, complaining about perceived unfairness usually falls on deaf and everlastingly hostile ears. Which is why Bloomberg's recent misstep with Goldman Sachs makes interesting reading.
Bloomberg, a robust news organization, prides itself on high standards and journalist integrity, but is now wiping egg from its face following the admission and subsequent apology that its journalists had access to certain client information from its terminals ubiquitous on every trading floor. This included user's login information and other general details including help desk inquiries. Bloomberg issued a quick apology and swiftly announced changes in procedure. It has since stressed that at no time did reporters have access to trading and monitoring systems or to clients' messages to one another (the stuff that really matters).
When Goldman Sachs, routinely held accountable in the public eye, discovered that its employees were being monitored by Bloomberg journalists with access to private data, a formal complaint was made. This must have the been the gotcha moment. No news organization likes to be accused of an ethical breach and this was one case where Goldman could flex its own muscle and claim the moral high ground.
The PR Verdict: "A" for Goldman Sachs for scoring a public and ethical win.
The PR Takeaway: Integrity is the Achilles' heel. No doubt Goldman Sachs has previously had its fair share of battles with Bloomberg but complaining to news organizations about bias and unfairness rarely works. This time it was different. A bruised eye for a leading news organization and a PR point for Goldman Sachs for starting a news cycle debate about journalist integrity. When there is a breach of procedure any PR is on firm ground to go ahead and complain. Choose your battles wisely.
